Am Sonntag geht es ja bekanntermaßen für unsere Eintracht weiter mit der Mission Wiederaufstieg. Irgendwann einmal bin ich über @FrankfurtDude auf diesen unterhaltsamen koreanischen Werbespot aufmerksam geworden & dachte mir, dass ich den doch mal posten könnte, auch wenn unser Frankfurter Bub Du Ri Cha in dem Video wohl leider nicht wieder nach Frankfurt fliegen wird. Einen Torjäger brauchen wir ja, wie ebenfalls bekannt sein sollte, auch noch!!!
Forza SGE!

OK, so I’m doing me right now (I guess that’s the appropriate saying these days), because my tests at university are coming up next week, but judging from some tweets and also this post by the homie Neil Armstrong announcing some festivities, it is NBA All Star Weekend in L.A., right???
Well, I don’t get excited for the game anymore as I used to, but there is always still the dunk contest. And with Blake Griffin in it (just check this new vid of him! Ouch!!!) I’m pretty excited about that. But whatever he does in this contest, his in-game dunks are still the shit to me, because he’s doing all this incredible stuff in an actual GAME!!!!
Speaking of dunk contests: While some mascots like RUN FFM, some others just like to dunk like Mr. Boom Tho in the Korean dunk contest.
Boom Tho is basically a movement, that is mostly represented by Rod Benson, a long time, great and very creative blogger, who happens to play basketball professionally. If you are into the behind-the-scenes basketball & overall funny things, I highly recommend to check his blog.
BOOM!
Also speaking of DJ Neil Armstrong, some weeks ago I clicked through his YouTube channel and found these videos of him DJing at the Rookie Photoshoot the NBA does in NYC before each season. OK, you won’t see him DJing in those videos, but you can see, how to future NBA players do at the decks as he is giving them some lessons.
To Neil & everyone out in L.A. a great All Start Weekend and of course also to those, that are losing sleep while watching it in front of the TV. :)
(This just in: With NBA League Pass you can watch it all for free – at least in Germany. Thanks for the heads up, Sid.)

I think its no news for those who are into this kind of music that korean popmusic is probably the most exported pop music within asia, first it was the korean drama tv shows that gained alot of fans in the other asian countries for its very melodramatic themes and now kpop is making its way to the west aswell.
More or less by an accident I found out about the group 2NE1 that recently released their first album in Korea.
A funny sidenote is that I remember one of the singers (Sandara Park the one with the weird hair lol) from her filmwork in the Philippines, good to see that she is having a career as popstar in Korea now, though the movies were always bad her acting was actually alright, as far as I could judge.
The reason I post this is that when I watched this video on youtube without understanding a word I was surprised to see that they work with Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas.
I guess we will be hearing more korean music in the future hopefully with less “weird english” lyrics ;-). Its always a question of taste but I think the beats and the production value has become
amazingly good over the years, its just a matter of time I guess.
Enjoy the video but is only availible in korean.
cheers,

I like to take pictures, heres one I took in Seoul, Korea last year with my Lomo LCA.
It’s an old basic analog automatic film camera, google Lomography you will find alot about it.
Mine is an original from the times of the former Soviet Union not one of those new rebuild/refurbished ones. Got it for cheap once on eBay hehe.
Check out the Random Shot section for more.
